"The real friend is another self...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.”

“I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.][Lat., Laetus sumLaudari me abs te, pater, laudato viro.]”

“To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.”

“The one who has a good friend doesn't need any mirror.”

“He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.”

“We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said that the only way to have a friend is to be one. We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion or mistrust or with fear.”

“When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience; I am experience. I am not the subject of experience; I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.”

“I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.”

“Two souls dwell, alas! in my breast.”
